Star Xandros 2.0 - An end to Windows? An adventure in Open source
Linked by Chris Nabinger on Wed 14th Jan 2004 20:23 UTC
Xandros I'm a windows user by nature, I've been playing around with Linux for a little while, I'm no Expert in any way but I've used quite a few distro's. The first distro I ever stuck with for any amount of time Was Xandros 1.0, which a friend provided for me. Except for the fact that it ran an old version of KDE it was perfect for me, but the old KDE crippled my work. Enter Xandros 2.0.

RE: Ghost.

"Ever hear of Norton Ghost?

You do it all the time ... the wrong way, obviously. I can rebuild a XP box in 30 minutes."

Ever heard of dd? I can re-build a Linux box that way in 30 minutes or less also.

Unfortunately for you, that has nothing to do with the argument. He's saying it takes longer to re-install Windows than Linux. Drive imaging has nothing to do with it. If it did, I could use pre-installed hot-swappable hard drives as proof that I can re-install Linux in 1 minute as evidence that Linux installs faster. Ludicrous.
